@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialMaineDOT’s Matt Burns told @mainepublic.org he wants “the best bang for the buck” in electrifying Maine’s ports. Cost matters, & so does who pays.
Just as important is what cruise emissions cost Portland residents in health & quality of life, & that’s our concern.
@portcruisecontrol.bsky.social“I think most people are unaware of how massively harmful these ships are,” said @elizabeth-burton.bsky.social , a retired mathematician and anti-cruise ship activist with @seattlecruisecntrl.bsky.social

@jolocktov.bsky.social “Cruise lines want to avoid hitting whales, even if only for the delays and distress it brings to their passengers.”
Epitomizes the cruise industry perfectly.
Bravo @heyjohnryan.bsky.social
Excellent article on cruise tourism & the damage it causes.

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialToday's floating city in the Portland harbor:
population: 4,900
7 hours at dock
~ 1, 650,000 gallons of acidic scrubber wash dumped into Casco Bay containing pollutants that damage marine ecosystems & degrade water quality.
@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialBy order of President Claudia Sheinbaum, there will be no cruise ships or deep-draft port in Loreto,” she was quoted as saying.
It is possible to say no.

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialPortland's first LNG cruise ship arrived today.
LNG cuts sulfur & soot, but methane leaks. A Cornell study of US-exported LNG found its 20-year climate impact is about 1/3 worse than coal's.
We removed a coal pile from the West End. Now we’re trading it for something worse!

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialLNG fuel. Coming soon to a Maine port near you….
@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialLNG fueled cruise ships arrive in Maine. #Greenwashing at its finest.
It consists primarily of methane, an extremely powerful greenhouse gas (GHG), which has climate impacts over 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialYou’ve heard of greenwashing? This is whalewashing!
The only safe way to observe whales is from the shore.
End of story.
